The project features diagonal views toward a lake belonging to the La Moraleja golf course in Madrid. Given that the size of this location allowed for it, a home was proposed that develops primarily on a single floor. The daytime area is organized into two volumes of different heights that shift in relation to each other.

Named the ‘House of Neptune’ (after the mythical protector of the water and seas), this house utilises the natural flow of the fresh underground water sloping down from the mountain peaks and into the sea. This concept was envisioned for a freediving champion, a national athlete and a marine researcher.

Welcome to a dreamscape where sea meets structure — this two-story residential complex on Abu Musa Island draws its lifeblood from the Persian Gulf’s vibrant coral world. Yellow corals, glowing anemones, bright orange sea sponges dusted with yellow spores, and flickers of sea sapphire come to life not in the water.
